Hey guys! Thinking of taking the LSAT in December. Thank you 7sage - things are amazing so far. I want to gauge my studying. Is everyone completeing EVERY problem set in addition to EVERY practice exam? Thanks

Hi,

is anyone else having this problem? It seems that in the past 24 hours all PTs can no longer be downloaded / printed. Any advice on this would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

I took the June LSAT Flex and decided to take a few months off from studying afterwards. I want to retake as I did not get the score I had hoped. However, I don't even know where to start! Do I jump right back in to practice tests again? Or go over the entire curriculum again?

Thanks for any advice about what has worked or not worked for you!

Hi everyone,

I have a pretty heavily marked-up The Loophole and a lightly marked-up LSAT Trainer that I'd rather not throw away. Free to pick-up for anyone in the NYC area (West Chelsea). Also happy to ship if you're able to cover shipping costs.

DM me if interested; first come, first serve.

I was thinking of doing a zoom session of answering GENERAL LSAT questions (like Sami) to help give back. I wanted to make it fun as well cause I know corona is p depressing in the United States lol. I was thinking of like after every question I answer I do like 30 pushups or something! Please let me know. If its a lame idea thats cool too lol just wanna help give back

How do I know if My request gets approved? Where on my account do I look? Also I read it could take 14 days, has anyone gotten them back sooner?

.

hi,

does anyone know what the time options are for flex registration?

thank you!

We are very proud of 7Sage's Admissions Consultant, Shruti Swamy, whose new collection of short stories is out! See below for more details.

A House Is a Body: Stories

Dreams collide with reality, modernity with antiquity, and myth with identity in the twelve arresting stories of A House Is a Body. In "Earthly Pleasures," a young painter living alone in San Francisco begins a secret romance with one of India's biggest celebrities, and desire and ego are laid bare. In "A Simple Composition," a husband's professional crisis leads to his wife's discovery of a dark, ecstatic joy. And in the title story, an exhausted mother watches, hypnotized by fear, as a California wildfire approaches her home. Immersive and assured, provocative and probing, these stories reveal small but intense moments of beauty, pain, and power that contain the world. A House Is a Body introduces a bold and original voice in fiction, from a writer at the start of a stellar career.

Hey all,

I'm taking the August LSAT. As a backup plan, I am considering enrolling in the October LSAT as well. Does anyone know what the refund policy is for the LSAT. If I feel like I did well on the August LSAT, it would be cool if I could get a refund for the October LSAT.

Those of you who were able to close a consistent 10+ point gap in your actual/BR score to break to the mid 170s, what would you recommend focusing on?

Sample of recent PT/BR scores: 170/178, 167/178, 170/180, 165/179, 166/176, 168/180. Edit: since posting 169/180, 166/177

My range on all sections is -0 to -3ish except games which I can swing a -1 on a solo timed section about 60% of the time. On a PT I'll usually do -5 to -7.

Current areas of focus based on analytics:

Timing/skipping strategies.

More exposure to difficult questions under time.

Conditional logic under time.

Grouping games

Games under time.

I think the primary issue is an insufficient volume of timed work as my actual test scores have been consistently lower at 162 for may and 163 for june. While games is obviously the biggest killer for me and there's not a lot of detail here, I was just looking for any general considerations I may have blatantly overlooked as I work to close this gap. I do see a few threads on closing BR gaps... am reading through this one: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2520. But also looking for any considerations which might be specific to my score range.

Edit 8/8: still working on this. Trend has continued with a 169/180, 166/177. I've continued to work games, now having done everything from PT 14 up at least once with a -0. Redoing a lot of the timed mini sets in the CC. Haven't been able to increase volume of timed PTs due to family all being cooped up in the house.

Still looking at the same areas of focus, and more broadly, just applying known strategies under time i.e. sticking to the plan after getting punched in the face. I'm exploring video of PT takes, but haven't settled on a way to record both the digital interface what I write on paper.

Does anyone have experience with a tutor that can help address these issues? I've used a couple brilliant tutors here (Josh and Ben... both of whom I recommended very highly) that I've since had to discontinue due to finances... just wondering of there are any recommendations for my specific purposes before reaching out again. I'm thinking if I can get a good recording setup, I'd like someone to review video of me and work on both game-day strategies as well as fine tuning the actual question work.

I took the July 2020 LSAT, when is the time to do the writing section? Is there a time limit? Is it done online with a proctor?

Hey guys!!! I feel like i really need some accountability. I have finished the course material and have done a lot of PT but i feel like my graph has gotten flat now plus i'm losing motivation. I'm aiming for a 170+ score so the next one month is going to be HARD CORE. Lemme know if you want to go crazy with me. Fierce girl power is ON.

I'm in IST time zone so having someone around this timezone would be perfect BUT i am open to adjust honestly.

I speak fluent English. :)

I'm currently an undergrad student and I've been studying for the LSAT very seriously since Feb 2020. I've done the CC and have been practice testing since June. I've taken about a month off from studying because I had a full-time internship that took up my whole day. I'm signed up for the August LSAT and was wondering if anyone had advice on how to quickly get back in the groove of things?

For context: Scoring in low 170s and want to be around that range for test day -- thanks!

Hi! I am currently in a waiting period before I start work in December. My plan was to take the November LSAT and apply to law school in a year or two after working. If the November test is a LSAT flex should I wait until it is the original format? Will law schools expect me to have taken the original format if I apply in a year or two?

CRINGE

Hi guys LR is my most consistent section but it seems like the questions I always get wrong are flaw questions. I’ve already been over the flaw curriculum in 7Sage so many times and still having issues anyone know any other resources for those types or advice? Also for those of you taking the flex at the end of this month are you changing up your studying since it’s getting close? I’ve decided to simulate flex tests as much as possible just to get used to the timing and flow because like I said LR is my saving grace so now I have to make sure I’m quicker and better in LG and RC since I won’t have the extra LR points to rely on.

Any tips on RC? I’ve improved but still my worst section. If u have noticed any patterns in wrong/right answer choices for RC please tell me my brain gets the LR ones but still not as good in RC really could use tips like desperately haha

Hi there,

I was hoping for some advice for how to break through the tough 158 to 160s gap. I've tended to score around a 158 and I'm really trying to get to the 160s, is there any advice for anyone who has jumped from the high 150s to low-mid 160s?

Should I switch to simulated flex for pts leading up to the October lsat? Or should I keep taking full length lsats? Thanks guys

Does anyone know when we can sign up a time slot for August FLEX? I saw someone saying that the LSAC sent an email, saying that they will receive another email regarding the time slot sign up in mid-August, but I didn't receive that email. I just called the LSAC and they said they didn't know exactly when the email was going to be sent, they just knew it would be somewhere in mid-August. No further information was provided. So basically we are going to receive the email one day, and then we can sign up. Then how do we make sure to sign up as soon as the email arrives? It's very weird. Can anyone share how FLEX time slot sign up works in previous North American FLEX? Thanks a lot!

Hi all - Was wondering if I'm crazy or not...

In my time studying for the LSAT, I from time to time come across people who claim to have scored 170+ on a diagnostic, and in this case, today I stumbled on a website that offers different advice to people who score 170+ on it.

I majored in Philosophy, graduated summa cum laude, and came into the LSAT with an understanding of logic and argument structure. I aim for 170+ as well but in my diagnostic I had never seen anything like the AR section and didn't finish a single section in time scoring a 155. Even scoring in the 160's without understanding the element of timing and the content of the exam seems extremely difficult.

Am I assuming incorrectly that other people are taking their diagnostics before studying anything?

Am I gullible for believing that people are just walking in off the street and scoring in the top 2%?

Another part of me feels like there is NO WAY someone can just sit down with 0 preexisting knowledge about the LSAT and crank out a 170+. But it is apparently common? Furthermore I see people claiming to score consistently above 170 within a few weeks of studying. I feel like its the equivalent of someone just deciding to take up basketball and making it into the NBA just showing up to a tryout without ever practicing.

If anyone here has been able to do this, how do you think it was possible? High caliber IQ? familiarity with content or time constraints?

I opted out of the August exam, but my LSAC account still says that I am registered for it. I have a message on my account confirming that I opted out for August and that I am awaiting a coupon to use for a future exam. The message says that I should get an email within a couple of days, but it has been weeks and I haven't received anything. I wanted to check here first before I call/email LSAC.

For anyone who's in the same boat, did you get your coupon already? Does your LSAC account still says that you're registered for August?

Hello,

I am taking the Aug LSAT-flex for the first time and I want to ask how to improve both sections before test time? I have been serious since May and I have been having trouble in getting the answers correctly. Somehow, I would know the answer right away but then I would second guess myself in picking the wrong answer and finding out that the answer I knew the first time was the correct on and not the other answer. Is there advice out there to fix it before test day? Thanks

Hey guys, I've spent quite a while on weakening questions in the CC. I took a break and formulated a weakening question for fun to see if I properly understand them. Would you mind taking a look at my Weakening Q and letting me know if I have a fundamental understanding of it?

Question:

AlwaysBeClosing: Every time I sit down at the couch, the dogs run up and sit on my lap. They must really like me because I don't see them doing this with anybody else.

Friend: My dogs are trained to find the weakest human in the room to get treats. Then, they sit on that person's lap. Therefore, my dogs don't actually like you, they just want treats.

AlwaysBeClosing: :(

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument made by the Friend in response to AlwaysBeClosing?

(A) ABC has never encountered a dog that didn't like him.

(B) The Friend's dog gets treats frequently before ABC comes over to the Friend's house.

(C) ABC's mom considers him to be an emotionally strong person.

(D) The dogs sit on the laps of people they've known for a long time. ABC has known them since birth.

(E) The dogs don't like most people.

Thanks!
